Spanish Indignados Join #OCCUPYWALLSTREET
Hey jammers,
A bit of profound strategic news to lift your sails: #OCCUPYWALLSTREET will now happen simultaneously on two continents!
Inspired by the visceral potential of the Wall Street occupation, the Indignados of Spain just sent us word that on September 17th they too will set up camp outside the Madrid Stock Exchange. The surprise announcement, that their #TOMALABOLSA will join your #OCCUPYWALLSTREET, may embolden other cities as well. A rumor suggests the financial district of Paris may be next … or will it be Toronto's Bay Street, Sydney's Martin Place, or some yet to be chosen site in London?
Then on October 6th another kind of encampment begins in Washington, DC.
With a bit of luck, and the right mix of nonviolence and tenacity, S17 just might cascade into a Tahrir Moment on an international scale - wouldn't that be something?
We call on jammers across the world to occupy financial districts on September 17:
- #TOMALABOLSA in Madrid, Spain (Confirmed)
- #OCCUPYFDSF in San Francisco, USA (Confirmed)
- #OCCUPYBAYSTREET in Toronto, Canada
- #OCCUPYCANARYWHARF in London, UK
- #OCCUPYMARTINPLACE in Sydney, Australia
- #OCCUPYBANKENVIERTEL in Frankfurt, Germany
- #OCCUPYMARUNOUCHI in Tokyo, Japan
for the wild,
Culture Jammers HQ
PS. Rip out the double-page #OCCUPYWALLSTREET poster in the middle of Adbusters #97 and whack it up!

Wall Street is the belly of the beast. I think that occupying Wall Street we are going to send a message to the world's big business community.
Is there any information that the Spanish Indignant organizers are willing to share with us... Tips and techniques for keeping the protest peaceful... Things like keep your hands up in the air.

We got this "letter from Egypt" a few days ago; recommendations are pretty much what we have been doing on our 15M demos in Spain.- It was posted in takethesquare.net but today the site seems to be down (=?!). I found it here too: http://wlcentral.org/node/2128
This is it:

1. Don't go directly to the destination, organize marches from several areas. Marches are like a bus it collects people on the way. Poor areas and affected areas get more supporters
2. Get volunteers in needed professions: lawyers and doctors and set up an SMS system for support (needed medicine, legal representation, etc.)
3. Unify your slogans and demands before you start. Everyone should know before hand why he/she is joining.
4. To make sure it is peaceful, organizers should be around the demonstrations at all times, if anyone gets out of hand arrest him and deliver him to the police yourselves
5. People should meet at an exact time not before or after. Getting a crowd at an exact time doesn't leave room for the government to react as they don't know the exact number.
6. Organizers should not be visible or different (no marks) plain clothes police will always be in your middle taking pictures so do not make it easy for them.
7. Cheerleaders, men or woman can chant routines to fire up the march are very important, silent marches are no no.
8. Start recruiting NOW.
9. Most important, keep it peaceful whatever happens, you will get much more supporters that way.
10. Start adding pictures with signs of people coming. Start youtube videos explaining why you are doing this and what are your demands.
11. Believe in yourself and don't worry about how many will come, everyone who was hurt by the system is on your side.
12. Sit ins are not for everyone, make sure that whoever goes home joins later with food water medicine for others. Never accept money, twitter your needs so people can bring them to you everyday.
Good luck from Egypt
